And...yes...that's me in a swimsuit...very few people have seen me this way...I prefer full body coverage. Great tan lines...eh? Thanks for dropping by my happy place! Lee-Ann :)

I spent the most wonderful day scrapping with my pals. We rented a hall and scrapped and yapped for 12 hours...so fun! I only got 3 and a half LO's done...what the heck? Although...there was a lot of snacking and talking going on...and laughing...I swear that I have so many super funny people that I scrap with. Anyhoo...We went on a family trip to Hawaii this summer and I'm finally scrapbooking it...this is my first LO. Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)
